What is this?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/20HP-...QQcmdZViewItem

I am a new owner of a 95 F-150 4X4 with a 302. I was looking on ebay and saw this. What is it, exactly?

Thanks
Tim

It's a placebo.

EXCEPT - in this case, it's not a placebo. A placebo does nothing - this overpriced resistor actually F's up your fuel curve and can damage your engine. Every single one of these things, however packaged and presented, is CRAP and should be avoided.

'Nuff said.
